golf 4 life

Caring for the most important piece of equipment you bring to the golf course...You!

There are over 1 millions new golfers each year who join the ranks of the 27 million that already play. Many do not treat golf as a sport.

We have ways to educate the golfer of all ages so they are able to Golf4Life. This is by educating them on how golf injuries happen and how to prevent them.

The golf swing generates approximately eight times a golfer’s body weight on the spine, generating a great deal of torque. Combine this action with a bent-over stance, repeat 100 times over several hours, add the fatigue that comes with several miles of walking, and you've got a good workout - and a recipe for a number of joint problems.

Chiropractic Care Can Help

Doctors of Chiropractic are trained and licensed to treat the entire neuromusculoskeletal system. Our doctors also have specialized training in sports injury and prevention and can provide advice for golfers to help them decrease the stress and strain placed on their bodies. That training includes the Back to Basics Golf Academy. Our doctors can address other health concerns, such as shoulder, knee, elbow and wrist pain frequently seen in avid golfers.

There are three main causes of golf injuries: muscle deconditioning, lack of flexibility and poor swing mechanics. Chiropractic care is ideally suited to deal with both muscle deconditioning and lack of flexibility; our doctors are specifically trained on the mechanics as well.
